What if it is just a mountain trail? It ends there cause a mountaineer thought it'd be a good camp ground. That big rock would give sufficient shade,
wind protection depending on the direction of the wind as well as a good view point. As a Boy Scout (or use to be), that's all i see. I do think it
is odd that the path kinda ends in a circle around that small rock (small in comparison to the monstrosity behind it lol)
